Homes that complement the landscape

Set against a natural backdrop of expansive montane peaks and 400,000 acres of woodlands from the Cleveland National Forest, Sycamore Creek is a master-planned community tucked in the enclave of Temescal Valley. The scenic scape encompasses a 71-acre natural preserve with a riparian corridor that sits alongside a myriad of walking trails, hilltops and 12 neighborhood parks. Once an area of small farms, lemon groves and mineral mines for homesteaders in the late 1800s, Sycamore Creek has now transformed into “a friendly community that is in tune with its serene surroundings,” says Maggie Chen, a real estate broker with over 20 years of experience at Universal Elite Realty. “People always see neighbors out playing with their kids or taking walks with their dogs.”

Lifelong homes

When meandering through the winding streets and cul-de-sacs of Sycamore Creek’s hillside neighborhood, one will pass columns of young trees lined along sidewalks and modern light posts. Most stucco-finished wood houses in the area are single-family and multi-family homes built in Spanish Colonial Revival, Cape Cod or Tuscan styles. Depending on the season, thoughtfully designed front lawns are embellished with holiday décor elements, further accentuating the neighborhood’s warm, communal character. Primarily built in the early 2000s, homes in this Riverside County community have lot sizes that average around 6,500 square feet, allowing space for a patio or treehouse setup in the backyard. The average four-bedroom single-family house is around 3,055 square feet, priced between $600,000 and $945,000. Residents tend to stay in the neighborhood for many years, which can lead to limited availability on the housing market.
